Daniel Mchardy Afternoons

Black Caps captain Kane Williamson will only play a minor part in the one day series against the West Indies.Williamson has been named to only feature in the first match, with selectors wanting him to rest ahead of a busy post Christmas period.Neil Broom will replace him after next Wednesday's game, while Tom Latham will captain the side.Selectors Gavin Larsen says players like Williamson who have such a hefty workload need breaks.He says it's a six month concentrated berth of cricket, and while they could've played Williamson, he'll be more useful at the back end of the season.Tim Southee will also sit out the second and third matches.Opener Martin Guptill has been ruled out of the three games with an ongoing hamstring problem, with Central's George Worker called in.LISTEN ABOVE AS GAVIN LARSEN SPEAKS WITH DANIEL MCHARDYSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
